I had a kakimoto exhaust on my r32..i thought it was good

the kakimoto sounds awesome, personally

I had a Fujistubo 3" muffler on the stagea, then swapped it for a 3" Kakimoto muffler

much higher flowing, more aggressive "RB" burble

very happy

and there is nothing wrong with a Mild steel system in lieu of stainless steel

With the cat choice you can get one for $199 that flows at 570cfm, the next one up is $380 and flows at 700CFM.

Would i see much differance in going for the more expensive one? Or keep the $181 and put it towards some cam gears?

Kaki is 98 DB.. Its not quite and scapes under the limit.. I have the 3.5 cannon N1 series which is the best and all I get is comments on how it sounds at WOT.. at idle the cops dont even look, just a quite hum/drone.

Get a split dump if you going stock turbo, makes the exhaust sound sweet.

Get a catco highflow, expensive but so worth it .. ceramic just slows it all down.

As a mata of fact look at my sig, just buy it all

Linky???

Wouldn't mind having a look...

:)

HKS cause chicks sex guys that have HKS stuff

lol so that's why...

;)

on a serious note; I have a HKS hi power silent,

I found it wasn't any louder than my stock exhaust(came with optional factory sport muffler from japan)

but it had a deeper, meatier tone on idle and at high revs really growls rather than sound like a wet fart

sometimes I turn the radio off just to listen to it when I drive.

I'm saving up to eventually get a titanium exhaust for the Z :(

I got a HKS silent hi power catback installed yest.

I also have a hks front pipe on my gtr.

The exhaust its quiet. I dont know why people say its loud on here.. I can barely hear it lol.

And the canon on the back is a better size compared to the kaki.

It might b louder if i get a proper high flow cat tho.. i still got a stock or compliance one on there.. ill see soon i guess.

the titanium tip is quite attractive but i honestly have to go with the hks.

simple fact i rkn its the hottest lookn exhaust there is.

its only a neway so its gonna sound like a fag newai. if u want it loud get a turbo back and gut the cat.

then the thing will sound like a monster.

honestly though i think the Blitz Nur Spec exhaust sound the best.

the other exhausts seem to have a throaty pitch.....where as the blitz just has a massive low down deep note that just screams to redline.

then again im running straight pipe so yeh......ur lookn at 115db+ on my car.

and just to show u wat i meant by other exhaust being throaty. take a look at this.

you have a mild tune s15 running a hks 409

then u have the same car running a blitz nur spec

notice how the nur spec is 10x deeper in note.....

no offence to the Trust owners out there but i think its a girls exhaust......

it is intended to be a silent exhaust like the hks 409 silent.......so i cant say to much

Im using the HKS Silent High power (see link in my sig for pics) sounds pretty awsome, looks awsome to!

I have a video on my laptop of me taking off from a mates house that i could post up if i figure out how, will give it a try tonight

+1 HKS Silent Hi Power.

Got one on the R34, it is quiet but the note is super sexy and as stated before when you open it up, it growls like a mother f**ker. Loud under load, quiet at idle... perfect imo. I am running HKS front/dump as well for the record.

There was obviously a noticeable restriction reduction from my old Nismo system. It also looks great and is HKS so chicks clothes just fall off when they approach your car. As far as the cost, I can't remember exactly, it wasn't cheap but was reasonable.

Heres the vid, sounds better in person.

Has Xforce 3" dump/front pipe, 3" decat pipe and HKS Silent High Power catback in this video, now has a hks split dump pipe (came with my 3037 turbo kit) and a hks front pipe which makes it sound alot different, sounds way better now!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
